Congress smacks DJT. DJT can now go on EO slash-and-burn party. Congress along for the ride helping out. A man can dream. :) |

@NoloContendre Pure devil's advocate: What if DJT were to EO this explicitly and intentionally so that it goes judicial. The proceedings either strike down the EO ban for a variety of reasons (all setting precedence), and/or they effectively are forced to erode the 'unsupervised' and overreaching powers of BATFE as creating effectively ad-hoc and contradictory 'legislation'? Heck, what if the ruling in effect forced to acknowledge the 'common use' of MGs? I'm a DJT fan however I'm not emotionally delusional. Yet I don't believe this is isnt being down without some angle of advantage. It could be be a Rahm ("never let a crisis go to waste") for our side. Again just spitballing. But DJT Jr def knows the technical aspects of bumps, and that a bump wasn't used in FL. That gives me some hope. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Why is Trump coming out hard threatening EO on something gun control related that would give him a ton of bargaining power? It doesnt make sense to me given he is all about the deal.

If you think there is any chance of the registry opening in this environment you are smoking some really good shit... View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
Quoted:
So if Trump gets ATF to declare that bump stocks make a rifle a machine gun.... And ATF has said "Once a machine gun, always a machine gun" Does that mean you have to turn in any gun you ever had a bumpstock on because it will always be an illegal machine gun? Or do they maybe get an amnesty period to register them as a new post-86 MG? But if it did happen and the left got the idea that every time they want to ban some new accessory it means tens of thousands of brand new machine guns become legal, they might quit hollering for gun control for a while. |

Just a quick Google search seems to imply that no new nukes have been made since 1990 (in the US, which with the trade restrictions on most firearms, would mean no cheap Chinese or Russian nukes), and seem to cost around $2-20 million to refurbish and keep usable. So lets say $10 million?

The only possible way I could agree with bump stocks being regulated is if the MG registry is opened and we can buy new MGs again. If bump stocks create a MG then they have to open the registry to add them. I dunno wtf Trump is doing but lets hope it doesn't go to an EO because that will set off a constitutionality fight and set precedent for future presidents to EO away even more of the 2A.

Trump says he's the biggest supporter of the 2nd Amendment then goes on to say he is going to ban a rapid fire device. He's very wobbly on the 2nd Amendment.

What the fuck is trump doing? View Quote We are the far right fringe of gun owners. He doesn't personally know shit about any of this shit. The people around him have told him that bump stocks are low hanging fruit, that no one is going to give a fuck about bump stocks and that this will be an easy win. They told him that this is a regulatory issue that he can fix quick and that his base isn't going to care. The truth is that they're right. No one is going to care about this. The courts aren't going to stop him and even among the far right gun fringe (aka us) he's only going to lose a handful of supporters. This is an easy win for Trump. That's the truth. |

I don't even know what to think or believe anymore.

Soooo, Do we want trump impeached now? View Quote He is setting himself up to lose the House and Senate by getting a bunch of R's to vote for gun control. The impeachment "court" he faces will be one of his own making. Pence is a good guy and EARNED an A from the NRA while both a congressman and a governor. When Trump starts talking AWB after the next school shooting or sooner, I know I'll wish Pence was president. Trump does not respect the Second Amendment and does not respect nor appreciate the NRA, its members, or Second Amendment voters. |
